A high-throughput screen for hyaluronic acid accumulation in recombinant Escherichia coli transformed by libraries of engineered sigma factors.

30 Oct 2008 Hyaluronic acid (HA) is an important biomaterial with functional medical and cosmetic applications. As its synthesis has been recently reported in recombinant bacteria, it is of interest to develop a high throughput screening method for the rapid ... Read more...

Efficacy and safety of sodium hyaluronate in the treatment of Wilkes stage II disease.

30 Oct 2008 PURPOSE: To show whether an intra-articular (IA) infiltration of 1 mL sodium hyaluronate (SH) into the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) would significantly reduce pain and improve joint function in Wilkes stage II disease, compared with the oral ... Read more...

Crosslinked hyaluronic acid dermal fillers: a comparison of rheological properties.

29 Sep 2008 Temporary dermal fillers composed of crosslinked hyaluronic acid (XLHA) are space filling gels that are readily available in the United States and Europe. Several families of dermal fillers based on XLHA are now available and here we compare the ... Read more...
